Electricity: customer generators: departing load charges.
- Requires the state energy commission to design a new system for customers to generate electricity at their properties.
- Mandates increased transparency in how departing load charges are calculated and applied to customers.
- Establishes a stakeholder input process including utilities and consumer advocacy groups through 2031.
- Requires submission of recommendations to the Legislature by December 2027.
Assembly Member Wallis's proposal to redesign California's electrical customer generation system directs the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission to develop new frameworks for on-site power generation at commercial and residential properties through 2031.
The commission must create a system that allows customers of electrical corporations, community choice aggregators, local publicly owned utilities, and electrical cooperatives to generate electricity at their locations. The design process requires incorporating mechanisms for calculating departing load charges transparently, evaluating cost savings from reduced infrastructure needs, and gathering input from utilities, consumer advocates, and other stakeholders. The commission will submit recommendations for implementation to the Legislature by December 2027.
The measure establishes specific parameters for the commission's study, including requirements to evaluate how customer-generated power affects utility infrastructure investments and energy purchases. The framework must align with California's renewable energy goals while ensuring consistent treatment across all electrical customer classes. A formal stakeholder engagement process will inform the commission's analysis and final recommendations.
